Paul Lambert will not walk out on Aston Villa, despite the club being in limbo.

Villa boss Lambert , 44, and chief executive Paul Faulkner, are flying to the US for talks this weekend with owner Randy Lerner in their first meeting since the American revealed he has put the club up for sale.

Lerner has now put all transfer and contracts plans on hold, despite a £200million sale potentially taking months as a firm bid is yet to be tabled.

It leaves Lambert and his plans adrift, with little cash to boost his squad.

But MirrorSport believes the Scot hopes to form a plan with Lerner for the club’s short-term first-team future, with loans the likely option.
